VIDEO: How Leveling Works in Fallout 4

  • Hello Vault Dwellers, Todd here with another exiting Fallout 4 feature! Today we're going to be looking at this video by FudgeMuppet, which offers some excellent information on how leveling works in Fallout 4 (with very little speculation involved). 

    The video tells us how many perks will be available (almost 280 of them!!!), it tells us what's happening with skills, and much more. Be sure to head over to the link posted above to watch the video and discuss it with us here! For those of you who have watched it, here are some questions for you:

    1. We get a perk point every time we level up, do you like this addition?
    2. What do you think about the complete removal of skills from the game?
    3. What're your thoughts on perks correlating with your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attributes? 
    4. Do you like the fact that almost every perk has ranks?
    5. There are a lot of unique perks available (such as one perk that you get only by playing without any companions). What others do you think we may come across? 

    I look forward to seeing some of your thoughts!

    I'm going to need to get actual hands on before I wrap my head around the leveling system I think.

    I assume Todd posted this vid because it was interesting, we don't have a partnership with FM
    As for it being here twice, its a function of the general crappiness of Ning. A video posted via RSS (i.e. in the feature box) doesn't show up, so I posted...  more

    1. I look forward to getting perks every level again.
    2. I don't think I'll miss skills.
    3. Makes perfect sense in my book!
    4. LOVE it, provided that these ranks are new effects and not stat boosts.
    5. I'm hoping they bring back "c...  more

    @Paul

    From what I've seen I don't think saving perks in FO4 will make all that much sense so it shouldn't be a big deal if we can't save them.

    It isn't like Skyrim where you could potentially save a perk while you wait for a skil...  more

    I'm interested that much i can say. I hope they don't force you to take perks like previous games.

    Video added to video box for ease of access
    One question I have not been able to find the answer to is : do you have to take your perk each level, or can you store them up like in Skyrim?
    It would seem odd if, having enabled the possibility of...  more
